"To the world you may be one person but to one person you may be the world." "I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith." 2 Timothy 4:7. On Saturday Dec. 9, 2006, at 12:10 p.m., at Our Lady of the Lake Regional Medical Center in Baton Rouge after a six-year battle with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, our world, our loving mom, caring sister, devoted gani and loyal friend passed away. She was 59, born inFoley, Ala., a resident of Cameron and Lake Charlesfor 20 years and a resident of Baton Rougefor more than 25 years. She was a homemaker, bartender and an insurance agent with Life of Georgia and Minnesota Mutual. She was full of energy and life, and never met a stranger. She was very honest, always kept her word and was very protective of her family. She collected horse carousels and music boxes. She loved to go shopping and to shower her loved ones with gifts.
